Bobbi Brown Navy & Nude Collection: Navy Nail Polish

When I bought the Navy and Nude eye palette I also picked up the limited
edition nail polish from the collection in shade Navy (£11). This is my
first polish from BB so I wasn't sure what to expect.
The colour is
absolutely gorgeous, its a deep flat blue, which might be simplistic
in nature, but they really have got the hue just right. Its exactly the
right depth of blue to not look too bright and risk looking too daring
for office work apparel, nor does it look too dark to make it not
register as a blue.
Now onto the formula and I have a slightly mixed opinion, Its rather thick and has
extremely good coverage so you can get away with one coat if you wish. I would also say that for someone like myself who
has a very poor wear time with the majority of brands out there, this actually tops my favourite brands for
long wear/less chips (Laura Mercier and Le Metier de Beaute).
However,
because not everything can be perfect, the dry down time might
well be the longest I have ever experienced, Its taken me a while to
learn to leave this at least an extra 10 minutes than I would normally
allow.
Though the drying time requires a new level of patience, I
think the extremely good wear and effortless chic colour has
made this a firm favourite and I will definitely look for future polish
releases from BB.
